Heidi Allen, MP for South Cambs, has responded to a report in The Sun that a group of Tory “backbenchers are circulating a letter… demanding she is given the boot at the next election.”

Ms Allen said: "The piece in The Sun has clearly been as much of a surprise to me as it has been to Conservative colleagues who have been coming up to me all day, reassuring me that they haven't heard of anything of the sort and that they support me totally.”

The Sun claimed that a group of MPs are “furious” at Ms Allen’s criticism of her party since the General Election.

After her party’s underwhelming election performance, Ms Allen was criticised for saying she didn’t think Theresa May’s premiership would last “any longer than six months".

Last week, she attracted more attention for an impassioned Commons speech, in which she expressed her “distaste for the use of public funds to garner political control” in the Tory’s deal with the DUP.

The Sun article does not specifically name any MPs supposedly involved with the letter.
